Non-contractual damages arise when the parties do not have a contract or the damage is not related to the content of the contract. In this case, the party causing the damage and the damaged party often agree on the compensation level. However, when they cannot agree, the damaged party has the right to request the competent authority to resolve the dispute to protect their legitimate rights and interests.
